The birthday party was in full swing, of that she could see, though she wasn’t in attendance.

Regular peeks out her office window and near perfect eyesight showed several vehicles taking up the reserved spots in an otherwise vacant parking lot, Grady’s Jeep Rubicon included.

Nicole had been hoping for proof of life, but so far, had seen no signs other than his vehicle. Not enough to ease her concern.

Weighted down by her purse, briefcase, and worry the likes of which she’d not felt in five years, she entered the elevator and pressed the button for the lobby, finally leaving her office for the day, darkness falling hours ago.

A legitimate evening of overtime.

A soft beep, then a gentle swoosh moments later, and the elevator doors opened—not to the lobby, but to the sixteenth floor.

“Nicole. I’ve missed you.”

He was okay.

Jesus, the relief she felt was palpable.

The sound of his rough, precious voice cut through her exhaustion and sent a warm, tingling awareness over her entire body. It was bigger than her ability to prevent it. To stop it.

It was all-consuming and nearly knocked her flat on her ass.

He wasn’t dead.

Inspecting him, from the top of his tousled blond head down to his brown leather dress boots, she looked for signs of injury. Wearing a white dress shirt with the cuffs rolled up, navy dress pants, and a leather belt that matched his boots exactly, he was right off the pages of GQ magazine. She already knew the body underneath was right out of her fantasies but seeing him dressed formally made her mouth dry and her lady parts wet.

A man chock full of charisma and confidence, so good looking he could have any woman he wanted—and might have, considering his remarkable ability to satisfy the female body.

But after an absence of three long days, Grady on a mission she’d personally coded RC—for reality check—she could see him more clearly. She could feel his uncertainty, exuded in his stiff posture. See his vulnerability, evident in his weary, but open blue gaze. Hear his longing, obvious in his strained, but intimate voice.

A man who was hers for the taking, if she wanted him.

And she just might… if only he was a mall cop.

“Well, hello there, Mr. Foster.” Her voice was smoky, tinged with surprise at the sight of him, and gratitude he was still in one piece. At first sight anyway. “Going down tonight?”

His clothes could be hiding critical injuries. Broken bones, internal bleeding, bullet holes.

“Yes, ma’am.” Oh, that sinful smile. It wiped away any hint of insecurity he’d shown. And it was deadly to her willpower. “If you’d allow me the pleasure?”

“Since the pleasure’s always mine, I’d love to. I’ll reciprocate afterward.”

“You used the L-word. That’s almost as hot as that thing you do with your tongue.” His tone was silk on sandpaper. It gave her the shivers. “You know the thing, right? That swirly little tease you do, right over the tip of me?”

She felt a blush heat her face.

“I love it,” Grady said, in response to her modesty.
